The Comedy of Errors

The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of their twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twins a series of wild mishaps, based on mistaken identities, lead to accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession.

By William Shakespeare
